Player movements and rumours

    Yeh I don't think Papalii and Bateman ever really hit their straps in attack at the Tigers, only 5 linebreaks between those two is horrendous but more a reflection of the style of play Sheens/Benji had them playing and the quality of the halves combos they had throughout the year IMO.

    Will be interesting to see how they go running off someone like Sezer who does play more direct into the line.

    Will do well under Stuart.

    I'm saying 10+ tries by end of season.

    Melborune getting Blore in return for Olam is such a pass take.

    Every other club with no doubt in my mind would've released Olam months ago yet somehow Melborune have managed to swindle a swap deal and not only that but pick up Blore, a highly rated young forward who in 2023 seemed to finally be over his injuries.

    Broncos should sign him on a min wage deal with clauses allowing him to box whenever he wants. Good bench forward even at 75% effort.

    Blows my mind that fittler picked him in origin just last year

    Was a complete gamble. Was banking on him having one of his epic performances, which he can have. His base-line is pretty low however, and his floor is literally 6-feet under.. Horrible selection for an origin game.

    His opening stint was pretty good, tbf.

    “Looking at our group, a few guys right at the back end of their career and over the course of the next 12 months or next two seasons, they won’t be here for a number of reasons and we needed to make a shift in that regard so that we had enough time to give the support that Tommy and Reubs need to develop into the best captain they can be when all that experience around them is gone.”

    Crazy thing for Payten so say given Taumalolo is only 30 and still has 4yrs left to run on his contract unless there’s something we don’t know…

    Carter Gordon from Rebels/Wallabies has signed with the Tits. Haven't followed Yawnion in years, had a look at some highlight vids to get an idea of what he's like. He'll go alright I think. He's a big 5/8.

    Cunt looks like the Ubermensch.

    :lol:

    I'm not surprised he got the sack, I'm definitely surprised they did it now though. Figured he'd last several rounds next year, at least.

    I'm guessing they are looking at getting Madge? Who else is on the market?

    As a Broncos fan, I feel bad for Kev. Sucks for a club legend to go down like this, but I do think it's the right call at the end of the day..

    It's better to do it now and try and have things sorted before next season, than rot for 6-10 weeks next year and fuck around with an interim coach for the rest of the season and possibly miss out on a marquee pick.
    They probably have 1 more good season (if that...) with Reynolds, so they needed to bite the bullet.
    After they ran off Ikin, as far as I'm aware, Broncos are the only team where there's no General Manager. Kev wanted to control everything. He pretty much wanted to run it like an old school footy side, but the scope is so big now, it can't be done. He had zero answers by the end of the season, and in their independent review, he probably still had zero answers. So they needed a coaching overhaul.

    This really was such an underrated piece of business in the off-season.

    You just know he’ll lock down that edge at Melbourne for the next 5-10 years too.

    Ezra is an intelligent fellow.

    Drives unlicensed, crashes into an uber. Tests positive to an illegal drug...

    Perfect chance to sack him. He's going to be one of the most over-paid players in the game. 850k a year for a bloke that can't tackle, and can't create anything himself.

    Broncos goofed hard letting Herbie go. He tore Samoa to pieces.
